Igor Shesterkin

@NYRStatsInfo

Igor Shesterkin earned a win in each of his last eight appearances (8-0-0, 0.75 GAA, .966 SV%, 3 SO). Since the start of the 2016-17 seasoon, Sheshterkin has posted a 77-9-4 record, along with a 1.53 GAA, a .939 SV%, and 23 SO in 93 KHL appearances. #NYR

I wonder when they bring him over? I'm really looking forward to watching him play.

Next season to probably start in HFD to get acclimated to the North American game.
His contract is up after this KHL season. Dont want to sign him to a contract this season and have him play meaningless games and burn a year off his ELC. I think he can come over after his season on a tryout that wouldnt burn any of his ELC.

I keep forgetting about that, thanks. For now, it looks like the Rangers don't have to worry much about goaltending. Hopefully it stays that way with this kid.

It'll be interesting to see how they play this.
Is he going to be interested in coming over here to play in the AHL or to play second fiddle on the Henrik Lundqvist farewell tour?
It wouldn't surprise me if he'd rather take another year or two in the KHL.

Personally I'd love it if he came over, had a strong camp and split duties with Hank 50/50 next season.

Anyone have any idea about how his contract will be? He's proven himself enough in the KHL to get a solid contract and Oilers didnt do us any favours with that Koskinen contract. If Igor got some good agents they could demand more than what he got, or am I way off?

Is Igor a RFA?

Wouldnt his first contract be an ELC which would have a limit on how much he could be signed for. 3 years, X $$$? Rangers also have to take into consideration the expansion draft, if he signs after the KHL season and comes over and plays one game then it burns the first year of his ELC, and then I think when the expansion draft comes along he would have to be left unprotected however if he starts next year then he would be exempt from the expansion draft.
Rangers going to have issues with Georgiev for the expansion draft if he continues to get better. Probably end up trading him next season especially if they think Shersterkin is ready.

New York Rangers goalie prospect Igor Shestyorkin was given the reins of SKA St. Petersburg's starting job for the Gagarin Cup playoffs in the KHL, and despite another stellar regular season, he has struggled early. His postseason took a bizarre turn Friday when he was given a game misconduct for tripping Spartak's Kaspars Daugavins, resulting in that player's hard crash into the boards and needing to be stretchered off the ice. SKA is in a 2-1 series hole and KHL.ru reports Shestyorkin is likely to face suspension. The Rangers pick is widely expected to be making the jump to North America after this season.

Bringing Shesty here now doesn't make sense overall does it? It will burn a year by having him play meaningless games at MSG -- not to mention Hartford if that's where they site him. I would agree that another season in KHL is a good idea.
